The congress will also feature presentations by International Academy for Design and Health founder, Prof. Alan Dilani and Academy member and clinical professor and Dr. Paul Barach.
Alan Dilani, will discuss “The Salutogenic Architecture – The Search for Healthy Society”. In his talk, Dilani points to his design theory called “Salutugenic Design”, a research that challenges traditional notions of scientific medicine, and discusses the correlation between design and health, ensuring that a well-designed hospital environment could lead to better quality of life and health.
Dr Barach’s presentation will be “Designing Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities for Safety, Reliability & Better Patient Satisfaction”. According to the distinguished physician, it is of great importance that the design of the hospitals is oriented to the patient and his needs, being at the same time more integrated to the community.
